That was an excellent short. Top-notch. I loved the way it gives more context to that one map too.
Womp womp.

God Damn... I love how much of the story they're telling simply with stage decoration. The story has been there the whole time... we just didn't know it yet.
That's it, I'm loss for words, phenomenal.

A mini series would be sweet, and we can learn more about these characters! Especially the complicated relationships between Mercy and the other overwatch agents.Story is deep between Hanzo, Ganji and Mercy.
Story between Mercy and Reaper is also damn interesting.
I NEED a movie about this.
A few movies in fact.
Like a TV series or something.
SO MUCH LORE! GIEFF

True true
Could have really used a Sub-Saharan African hero looking at that pic
depends on where you order it from. if you order it directly from blizzard, you will just have the game + skins unlocked on your battle.net account. if you buy the game from another retailer, i would imagine you will get a key yes.

So I have an idea for a custom game PS4 GAFwatch could play. We have a regular normal game mode match....but with a twist. We all go Torbjorn, take out our forge hammers and just melee the shit out of each other! 
True true
Wait, what country is the bird from? I don't recognize that flag.
Also, Reaper is from Los Angeles. Way to make the evil villain be from Mexico!
Too much kawaii desu desu :/.

I don't know if this is old news or not, but I was at the Universal Studios Tour and they said they were filming a live-action Overwatch commercial on one of the lots.
So that's something to look forward to, I guess? Though live action game commercials aren't usually great.
They hadn't even filmed it yet, so I imagine it will be out as part of the launch barrage of commercials.

Dragons was fucking great, while the writing is simple it isn't as cringey with dialgoue as the previous short "Alive" with Widowmaker and Tracer.
I do wonder how this ties in with the relationship between Hanzo and Genji in-game as the short has Hanzo accepting that Genji is alive and not some robot-imposter (which was my original prediction). Maybe the two brothers are reprising their past relationship back before the duel? Back then Hanzo was the more serious brother with the weight of leadership thrown upon him whilst Genji was a carefree playboy/pimp. Now maybe Hanzo is still serious but instead now being disillusion with life and pessimistic on the world whilst Genji is now a romantic-minded cyborg and enjoying being a "hero" with Overwatch.

That's exactly what I was thinking while watching that Hanamura travel guide.
Hope it'll be a thing one day.

The new Doomfist will most likely be exactly that, since the previous two were from Sub-Saharan Africa. (They were both Swahili.)

The real nightmare would be if they planned to do this every month.
Yes, blizzard games have been "cd keys in a box" for over a decade now. If you have a prime sub, order the Origins physical version for only $8 more than the standard one.
wouldn't surprise me if he personally designed Widowmaker, corruption fetish and all.

Metzen is still a competent writer, not amzing, but I give credit to that he really knows how to draw an audience into a universe. I'm not sure if he led the story on Diablo 3 and I can't really defend SC2, but everything after WoW: WotLK the story was led by David Kosak instead of Metzen.
Soldier 76 was actually his personally-designed hero I think
SC2's story is indefensibly terrible in every regard from the first campaign to the last, and for all the credit he gives himself in interviews for so much of that, I can't say I'm confident in Metzen's competence any longer.

Canary Islands, Spain.

Token Spaniard character.
I would love an actual Spanish character. Don't even care if they go for the stereotypical Matador.
When are we getting the Soldier 76 short? The day before release?
I think the Saturday Morning Cartoon thing just really works in favor of this game.
